@IRNMKE3 Yeah, it's just that, it's spreading...
Biden is President, Kamala Harris is VP, and it's a beautiful day. One day at a time, my darlings. #politics
Is there #CoSoMerch?
@MotherDucker I have, and it worked fine.
And then I found that I always have something interesting to do, and I do not _have_ to purchase books with DRM on them.
I've spent a couple bucks here and there on books CoSo authors have published, but ultimately I end up feeling worse for opting into the DRM system than I've gotten spiffs from supporting an author.
Who probably makes almost nothing off that DRM-heavy sale anyway.
Anyone have experience using #Calibre with #Kindle to remove DRM? Just a thought 💭 considering one of the links someone shared earlier—cannot remember who shared it. But it was a video talking about ebooks and kindle and how they can change or remove content at will even after you have purchased it. #books #ebooks
Today was the first day this week that I didn’t feel like I would throw up or pass out. So, I took my 7yo shopping for some new aquarium fish, a snowglobe that she wanted to buy with her own money, and Christmas gifts for hubby. Might as well enjoy the peace of that season for what little time we have left for relative peace.
Personally I am hoping for some kind of Christmas miracle. Like a well timed myocardial infarction, sink hole, meteor, lightning strike, a TIA, DVT, anything really.
Hey New Eggs-
This place is different. Ask questions. We’re usually nice here if you are. Use hashtags liberally
Sorry, no algorithm here. You’ll have to go exploring to find cool people. It won’t be that hard. It throws people off but it’s better really.
Create filters. Block people you don’t like. Follow those you do. No bots. No ads.
If you find you like it here, go #CoSoPro so we can keep the lights on.
I'm so incredibly grateful for #CoSo .I honestly don't know what I would do without this place right now. There are so few people around me that I can talk to like this and if I didn't have you guys, it would be so much worse
Shoutout to today’s real victor: the idiopathic stress hives that were apparently triggered by the viral load of the COVID I had in 2022 and are just waiting in the wings to remind me of that horrific time every time I am stressed about anything else. “Hey, I see you are stressed about the miscarriage, oh and the election too?— Hey, remember when you had Covid? That was fun, right? Let’s flay the skin from your shins to distract you from that.”
